Graduates of Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, Nate and Hallie Evans
have, for almost a decade, made their living as full-time potters who
produce all the inventory of Allamakee Wood-Fired Pottery. Their
functional stoneware and porcelain pieces use many indigenous clays and
glazes, which, in combination with the subtle effects of wood-firing,
yield highly distinct ceramic pieces.
While learning about their art, Nate and Hallie served an apprenticeship
with the North Carolina potter, Mark Hewitt, whose use of the craft
traditions of the Southern pottery continues to influence the couple's
work, as do the classic forms associated with English and Oriental
ceramics.
The Nate and Hallie exhibit their work throughout the Midwest, with
their studio based in New Albin, Iowa.
